Southern California's outlook is quite serious for LA, Bakersfield, Blythe, Imperial, and other inland communities.

There are layers of challenge here, including very severe heat increases, drought trend, and more intense, more irregular atmospheric rivers.  We also see a very intense hot spot for deluge-like precipitation appear over Bakersfield.  

In Northern California, we find potential for building long-term resilience.  This region begins south of the Bay Area at about Half Moon Bay, extends to the eastern edge of about Napa, and returns to hug the coast all the way up to Eureka.

You won't be shocked that Vegas is projected to pick up a lot more days over 105 by 2C, but Dr. E was very interested in the relative stability she found in other parts of the state.  

For those watching solar field developments, it's worth noting there are major signs for deluge-type rain emerging over Tonopah.  

Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.

Here, we consider big picture projections for water stability and heat increases across the region, as well as what to expect with our best current understanding of tipping points.
